British Pageant presented on Wednesday and Friday

Performances begin at 8:30 p.m.

The Nauvoo and British pageants celebrate the legacy of the early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Narrated by Parley P. Pratt,
the pageant emphasizes the prophetic mission of Joseph Smith and honors the sacrifice,
faith and courage of the Saints who gave their all to build a city and a temple to their God.

The British pageant explores events surrounding the beginning of the Church in the
British Isles and the impact of the British member's abiding faith and deep love for one
another and the Savior.

The pageants are filled with authentic hymns and folksongs, lively dances, and tender moments
that share the joy these early Church members found in living Christ's gospel. Through words taken
from journals, sermons, and historic records of the period, the pageants invite all to feel the powerful
stestimonies of these faithful Christians.

Nauvoo Pageant Core Cast

The Nauvoo Pageant Core Cast consists of twenty actors, representing historical figures
such as Parley P. Pratt and Joseph and Emma Smith who perform live each night for
the duration of the pageant. The core cast also presents short historical vignettes during
the day and sometimes performs an hour-long presentation of "Our Story Goes On" in
selected venues outside Nauvoo.

The LDS Church is seeking professional-quality actors to fill 20 core cast roles in the summer of 2015
Nauvoo and British Pageants. There are roles for men and women age 20 through 70, as well as one teenage boy.
Please come prepared with 16 bars of a song of your choice. We will also do readings from the pageant scripts.
Groups of 10-12 will audition each hour, so please anticipate scheduling a time at the top of each hour.

Scheduling Auditions:

The rigorous nature of these outdoor summer pageants requires that core cast members be experienced, faithful,
LDS performers demonstrating a high degree of maturity, flexibility, and willingness to work long hours.
Good health is essential. Once cast, candidates must also receive their bishop's recommendation.
Rehearsals for core cast members will take place in Salt Lake City in June and will then move to Nauvoo.
For further information or to schedule an audition please call (801) 240-2551.
